The Poultry Yard.

HOW TO MAKE HENS LAY DURING THE WINTER.
According to recent issue of the Rur-
al New Yorker the hens kept have bee n
laying fairly well all winter, although in
neighboring poultry yards no eggs have
been produced. Just what makes this
difference in favor of the Rural hens is
an important matter, for hens that lay in
cold weather are exceptions to the gener-
al rule, as a great majority of farmers
will testify.
The secret appears to be, first, the Sc
lection of pullets in September MAY
chickens) of egg producing breeds; and,
second and most important of all, per-
haps, the provision of warm, comfort
able houses in which said pullets could be
kept warm, dry and comfortable. The
pullets were kept free of vermin by oc-
casional dustings with insect powder and
spraying the houses with kerosene. The
houses are tight as boards and tarred
paper can make them. Each window is
furnished with glass sash and heavy
wooden shutter. With both of these clos
ed the proper warmth is easily secured.
In summer piece of wire netting is
stl etched over the window so that both
the glass and the shutter can be easily re-
moved if necessary. Instead of having
large window in the south, there are
fair sized ones in the east and west sides,
which Mr.. Carmall believes makes the
temperature moro even. He says regard
ing the matter:
THE fowls are not roasted and frozen
by turns, as they are with a window to the
south" He also expresses the opinion
that there is no. half so much trouble
about ventilation as people try to make
out. The ordinary hen-house has alto
gether toe much ventilation.

proposes, the steer would eat an average
of "a lbs of meal, or zone half bushel per
day to make that gain. The meal, cost
ing one cent pound, or "a cents per day,
$3.50. If We call the rough fodder 81,

him.
Now let Us see what proper system of
preparing the food Will do. If 10 pounds
of rough fodder is run through the cutter,
molstened so that the meal will stick to it
and 10 pounds of meal is mixed with it so
that both are eaten together, the steer
VIII dobetter than on "a pounds. This
would save $500 worth of meal to pay for
the fodder and part of the labor.
But let Us see now what better system
of feeding would do. Corn meal is not
best when fed to fattening steers as the
sole grain food with poor fodder, but
should be mixed with more heterogeneous
food.
DIN G. DIS locality good wheat bran
may be bought in quantity at SIS per
ton, or three-fourths the price CT coin
meal. Wewill feed ten pounds corr meal
ana eight pounds of bran, mixed together
and this again mixed with two bushels of
cut straw, well mixed with it, and left
twelve hours to warm up before feeding.
This will be given in two feeds, one bush
at feed The corn meal and bran will
cost 16 cents PEI day, $500; 1890 lbs of
straw at $500 per ton, making So; max
ing cost of food $3.50, leaving for labor
and contingencies $14.S0.
The steer in this feeding will be in
healthy condition all the way through. If
one has good clover hay, corn meal and
! clover hay mixed together make excellent
fattening food.

Winter Wheat.

The following summary will be printed
IN three weeks issue of the Chicag Far
mer's Review: THE report as to the con-
dition of winter wheat continue to be
generally of a favorable character, with
the exception of those from Kansas,
where in majority of the counties, the
outlook is regarded as poor. The latest
reports were all made prior to the cold
wave of Friday night, and the resulting
damage to exposed fields, if any, has not
yet been fully disclosed. The report
from Illinois, Indiana, and Ohio state
that the plant is looking green and ten
der, but that broad areas are entirely ex-
posed, and indicating that the crop
would be subjected TO certain amount of
peril in thu event of freezing weather. In
Adams, Crawford, Johnson, Richland and
White counties of Illinois the fields are
covered with ice and the crops are look
ing poorly. In Brown, Christian, Clay,
Coles, Effingham, Fulton, Greene, Han
cock, Madison, Pulaski, Richland,
Stephenson, Wabash, Wayne, and Wood
ford counties the fields generally are bare,
but the wheat is looking well. In seven
teen Indiana counties the reports show
bare fields, but fair growth and no injury.
In Michigan and Wisconsin the fields are
well protected, and the outlook is regard
ed as very favorable. In Cherokee, City,
Ellis, Jefferson, Lyon, and Pawnee coun-
ties of Kansas the prospects are regarded
as very poor. In many instances the plant
is just alive, and the fields are generally
exposed and bare. In Rush, Crawford,
Doniphan, Lincoln, Miami, and Nemaha
counties of Kansas the prospects of the
crop are regarded as fairly good"

A New Plan of Clothes Washing.

Cor. of the Syracuse On. " Journal
l have recently learned of new method
of washing, which has SO simplified my
own washing that l am anxious to extend
the information as far as possible, and to
this end take the liberty of asking it's
insertion in your paper.
The method is this: Soak the clothes
over night in warm water, soaping the
more soiled parts. In the morning put
over the boiler half full of water, into
which put three tablespoonfuls of kero-
sene oil and enough soap, shaved from
the bar, to make good suds. If oil is
seen on top the water, add more soap.
In this water put the cleanest clothes and
stir briskly about being careful not to
crowd the boiler, as it is necessary to have
the water percolate freely among the
clothes. After they have boiled about
FIVE minutes, take out into water as hot as
can be borne by the hands. The more
solled parts may require slight rubbing
on the board; pass from this water
through two rinsing waters. 1t is bet
ter. that the first should be hot. AS
water is added TO the boiler, add proper
tionate amount of oil and soap. The more
soiled clothes will require little longer
boiling. If the work is properly done
there will be no odor left from the oil.
BY this method, the soap and oil are
made ia do the work of the hands and do
it satisfactorily, too. There is an Gle
ment in kerosene which enables it to dis
integrate dirt, and in fact petroleum
forms constituent part of many popu-
lar washing fluids. l would not advise
any lady to try this without some per-
Sonal superyisiOn In one instance where
the operation was left entirely to the
cook, the family washing was done with
kerosene oil. the cook not supposing that
any soap was necessary; the result can
better be imagined than described.
write this especially for the great num-
Ter of women who do their own work,
and who, while olamoring for eight hours
day, with weaker bodies and wakeful
nights patiently toll fourteen, and there
is nobody to strike for them.

fellow. by wounded buffalo, and lies buried

one night, l remember, of some wonderful
workings I had found whilst hunting koo-
doc and Gland in what is now the Lyden-
burg district of the Transvaal. l see they
have come across these workings again late
" in prospecting for gold, but l knew OF
them years ago. There is a great wide wa
gon road cut out of solid rock, and leading
to the mouth of the working or gallery. In
side the mouth of this gallery are stacks of
gold quartz piled up ready for crushing,
which shows that the workers, whoever they
were, must have left in q hurry, and about
twenty PAGES in the gallery is built across,
and beautiful bit of masonry it is.
"tAy' said Evans, but will tell you a
queerer thing than that;' and he went on to
tell me how he had found in the far interior
a ruined city, which he believed to be the
Ophir of the Bible; and, by the way, other
more learned men have said the same long
